Enticingly velvetine peaches , pear blossoms, peach wood, orris root, and musk mallow Deep in the soft, sweet-smelling fresh Body of fruit a seed, a pit Eternal in the delicate flesh That cradles it. —Marjorie Allen Seiffert, A Stone is Hidden in the Peach Art: Three Peaches on a Stone Ledge with a Painted Lady Butterfly by Adriaen Coorte, circ. 1695
